    It's interesting how both Pik and StarWaflle seem to be offering reasonnable, yet contradictory concepts...

    This is how I see it:
    There will always be two large tendancies in creators and artists in general

    There's the Hobby aspect of things. People leaning more towards that side do things "as a hobby" and would rather have complete control over their creation than satisfying the quality standards of a few. Their satisfaction resides in the process of making what they like more than in the end result.

    And there's the Self-Improvement aspect of things. People leaning more towards that side do things "to get better" and would be more prone to changing their methods and adapting to what third parties require them to do, even if it goes against their own comfort. Their satisfaction resides in the end result, and the overall progression of their skills, more than their enjoyment of the creation process.

    Of course, that doesn't mean StarWaffle doesn't want to improve at all, and doesn't care how his hacks end up. And that doesn't mean Pik is suffering when making hacks .
    But from what I understand, it's kind of a pattern, that creators seem to find very different satisfactions in the creation process. And to me, neither is more right or wrong than the other.

    So yes, Velen, you will always find hackers who refuse your criticism and will decide to keep things going their way and not yours. But that's because you're trying to push them on a path which is not the one they've chosen.

    And then, there's also the mean thing that LordNoah rightfully mentionned. There are more positive ways to bring about improvement than pointing fingers and saying things are bad.

    (Also, isn't this the third topic about criticism that you bring up?)

    Hmm, I should go make a thread about why I make the stuff I do or why I treat people the way I do. I don't see how can people care of this stuff.
